Industrial door motor replacement in Witney

At a glance

Replacing a door motor at a site in Witney is a chance to upgrade the control panel too, adding inverter control, remotes, loops or traffic lights at the same time.

Town: Witney
Postcode district: OX28
Area: Oxfordshire
Guide price: £845 – £2,395

What's included

Re-commissioning. Limits set, cycles tested and safety devices checked before handover.
Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.
Matched drives. Motor torque, speed and mounting matched to the door's weight and size.
Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.
Force testing. Closing forces measured to BS EN 12453 where the door closes under power.

What this work can involve

Diagnosing a stalling roller shutter to confirm whether the motor, a broken spring or the control panel is at fault.
Upgrading an old relay control panel to a modern unit with monitored safety edge inputs during a motor change.
Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Witney?

In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.

Planning the work around your site

Frequently asked questions

Can you replace an obsolete door motor in Witney?

Yes. Where the original is no longer made, we fit an equivalent drive with any adapter plates or couplings needed, then set limits and test the safety devices before the door goes back into use.

Is the motor really the problem with our door in Witney?

Not always. Broken springs, damaged guides, failed panels, safety device faults and supply problems can all look like a failed motor. We diagnose first so you do not pay for a motor that will not fix the fault.

How much does an industrial door motor replacement cost in Witney?

Our guide price for a replacement motor is £845 to £2,395 ex VAT, supplied and fitted, depending on door size, drive type and whether a new control panel is needed. A diagnostic repair visit in Witney costs £145 to £195 ex VAT.
